to establish the human malignant lymphoma model in nude mice, orthotopic transplantation of histologically intact gastric lymphoma tissue from 11 patients was implanted into gastric submucosa of nude mice. Tumorgenicity, invasion, metastasis and morphological characteristics of the transplanted tumors were studied by light microscopy, electronic microscopy, and immunohistochemistry. Two strains screened from 11 cases of human gastric lymphoma were the high metastasis model (HGL HMN 1)and the in situ model of human gastric lymphoma (HGL HMN 2) passaged in vivo for the 36th and 27th generations respectively. 329 nude mice were transplanted. Since the 3rd generation, the tumor transplantation growth rate and the resuscitation rate from liquid nitrogen were 100% .Lymph node metastasis, blood metastasis, and seeding metastasis were present. The transplanted tumors were similar to the original human malignant lymphoma in histopathological, ultrastructure features, DNA content and chromosomal karyatype. Its spontaneous growth occurred in the stomach of the nude mice,accompanied by destructive infiltration of every tissue layer of the stomach wall. Its invasion and metastasis simulated integrally the clinic process of human malignant lymphoma. These models can be used to study the etiology, invasion, metastasis and experimental treatment of human malignant lymphoma.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are widely used in the field of tissue engineering because of their multi-directional differentiation potential. Micro RNAs play an important role in promoting osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of miR-218 and miR-26a on the osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs, and to provide reference for the study on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and the clinical application. METHODS: The bone marrow of the femur of Wistar rats was extracted and the BMSCs were isolated and cultured to the 3rd generation. MiR-218, miR-26a and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were mixed in a specific ratio to form a miRNA/PEI complex. Meanwhile, a negative control group was established.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Rat BMSCs grew well. (2) The optimal concentration of miRNA mimics was 50 nmol/L by MTT method. (3) The expression of alkaline phosphatase and collagen type I mRNA was significantly increased (P < 0.05). (4) Alkaline phosphatase staining showed that compared with the blank control group and the negative control group, the cytoplasm showed obvious coloring. (5) There were a lot of mineralized nodules shown by alizarin red staining. Therefore, miR-218/PEI complex, miR-26a/PEI complex and miR-218+miR-26a/PEI co-transfection complex could promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Under the same conditions, the osteogenesis of miR-26a was slightly better than that of miR-218.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of temporary and permanent sensory disturbance of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) of the mandible.
METHODS14 patients were selected for this study. Before BSSO and at 1 week, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after BSSO, the sensibility of bilateral inferior alveolar nerves were examined using sharp-blunt testing, 2-point discrimination, electronic pain response test (ZGK-1 electrometer).
RESULTSWith conventional sharp-blunt and 2-point discrimination test, electronic pain response test, the incidence of temporary impairment of IAN after BSSO was 78% (22/28). Obvious sensory recovery of IAN was found 6 to 12 months postoperatively. Permanent sensory disturbance of unilateral inferior alveolar nerve occurred in 2 patients.
CONCLUSIONSSensory recovery of the inferior alveolar nerve after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible would take 6 to 12 months. Serious injury of the IAN would cause permanent neurosensory deficits.

Objective:To explore the effects of human recombinant erythropoietin (rhEPO) on inflammation of hyperoxic lung injury in neonatal rats.Methods:Seventy-two neonatal rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, BPD group, hyperoxia + low-dose recombinant erythropoietin [EPO(L)]group, and hyperoxia + high-dose recombinant erythropoietin [EPO(H)]group.The neonatal rats in BPD group, hyperoxia + EPO(L)group and hyperoxia + EPO(H)group were exposed to 850 mL/L oxygen.Then the neonatal rats in hyperoxia + EPO(L)group and hyperoxia + EPO(H)group were given 800 IU/kg and 2 000 IU/kg rhEPO by subcutaneous injection respectively at 1 d, 3 d and 7 d, while the control group and BPD group were given the same amount of 9 g/L saline water.Initially, the body weight of each group was recorded at 3 d, 7 d and 14 d. The morphological structure changes of lung tissues were observed by HE staining under light microscope, and the radial alveolar count(RAC) in lung tissues were detected.The expression of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB) was detected by immunofluorescence staining; Western blot was applied to determine the protein expression of phosphorylated NF-κB(pNF-κB), inhibitor protein(IκB) and Caspase-3 in lung tissues; and the expression of interleukin-1β(IL-1β) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was determined using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:(1) On the 14 th day, the body weight of neonatal rats in the BPD group was lower than that in the control group [(18.97±3.21) g vs.(27.97±2.30) g], and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.01); however, the body weights of neonatal rats in the hyperoxia+ EPO(L)group and hyperoxia+ EPO(H)group[(24.16±2.15) g, (26.04±1.97) g] was much heavier than that in the BPD group, and the differences was statistically significant(all P<0.05). (2) The morphological structure of lung tissues which was observed by HE staining showed that in the BPD group, there were a few inflammatory cells infiltration in alveolar septum on the 3 rd day, the inflammatory response was more evident on the 7 th day, when exudation could be seen in the alveolar cavity; and on the 14 th day, the number of pulmonary alveoli decreased, pulmonary bulla formed, and septa were thickened.Besides, it was also observed that compared with control group, RAC was significantly decreased in BPD group on the 14 th day(5.50±1.29 vs.14.33±2.80), and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.01). Pathological changes were ameliorated and the infiltration of inflammatory reaction cells was reduced in the hyperoxia+ EPO(L)group and hyperoxia + EPO(H)group.RAC was remarkably higher in the hyperoxia+ EPO(L)group and hyperoxia+ EPO(H)group than that in the BPD group on the 14 th day, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3)Immunofluorescence results showed that: the number of NF-κB p65 positive cells increased significantly and fluorescence intensity increased in the BPD group, while EPO could greatly reduce the number of NF-κB p65 positive cells and lower the fluorescence intensity.(4)Western blot results indicated that compared with the control group, the expressions of pNF-κB p65 and Cleaved Caspase-3 was significantly increased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); and IκB was significantly lower, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The expression of NF-κB p65 and Cleaved Caspase-3 was significantly lower, but IκB was significantly higher in the hyperoxia+ EPO(L)group and the hyperoxia+ EPO(H)group than those in the BPD group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (5) ELISA results revealed that the expression of IL-1β in the BPD group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); Compared with BPD group, the expression of IL-1β was significantly lower in the hyperoxia+ EPO(L)group and hyperoxia+ EPO(H)group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:EPO can reduce hyperoxia-induced lung tissue apoptosis and protect newborn rats against hyperoxic lung injury by decreasing the inflammatory response of cells through the NF-κB pathway on BPD.
